David Warner, Kane Williamson and Manish Pandey fail big against Delhi Capitals; 10 KEY POINTS
- SRH were off their worst start to IPL 2021 Phase 2 as Williamson, Pandey and Warner (duck) managed just 35 runs.
- Kane Williamson batted at a strike rate of under 70 as he struggled badly against DC. His overall strike rate is 114 in IPL 2021.
- The SRH captain has just managed a half-century in his five appearances in IPL 2021.
- David Warner failed big time as he departed for a duck. His strike rate of 110 is also under scanner for SRH.
- If Warner fails to perform, then SRH might have to opt for Jason Roy. It could be tough for Englishmen to deliver from game one.
- Manish Pandey failed to make use of the opportunity as he threw away his wicket after getting set.
- The right-handed batsman has failed to score big despite good starts. His last few scores read 11, 37, 26 and 31.
- The fate of SRH in IPL 2021 depends on these three players’ batting performance. With the absence of T Natarajan for the next few matches, the trio needs to add extra runs with the bat.
- SRH had managed just one win in the first phase of IPL 2021. They are placed on the last position in IPL 2021 Points Table.
- Warner and Pandey were returning to action after 5 months. Meanwhile, Williamson had last featured against India in WTC Final 2021. The absence of cricket hurt them badly, it has become a pattern in IPL 2021.
DC vs SRH in IPL 2021: Absence of cricket
Warner, Williamson and Pandey’s dismissal were quite familiar with the recent struggle with RCB’s AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell and a number of CSK players. The players are away from the action in the last five months.
“It’s going to be difficult for him [MS Dhoni], because once you are not playing international cricket, the IPL is a very difficult tournament, it’s not like CPL and other leagues. IPL is where you face top-quality bowlers,” Gautam Gambhir had told GamePlan.
The above statement is applicable to all the batsmen who have missed live cricket for the last few months.
